Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 583 - 584: The Mysterious Two Maidservants [9/10]

"Let’s not lose heart, little sis. How does everyone else get out to see the wider world? They have sects and teachers to take them, of course. I believe... I believe we’ll be able to find our own teacher too," the older sister said, clenching her small fists to bolster her own spirits.

At this point, it was the only hope they could cling to. Otherwise, returning to their hometown like this would be utterly humiliating. The two young women stood on the street, sighing heavily.

"You’re still young. Why the long faces?"

Qin Yuhan had been forced to take the little one out for a walk due to her incessant nagging. She was surprised to see two sweet-looking girls sighing right in front of her, so she couldn’t help but speak up.

They turned around to look at Qin Yuhan, and even as women, they were stunned by her beauty. After a long moment, the two came to their senses and exchanged a look, their eyes filled with helplessness and frustration.

"We want to be optimistic, but it’s just too difficult."

"It’s true. You don’t understand, miss. We sisters want to leave Xiuyuan Country to see the world beyond, but... we have no background. If we go out there, we’ll just end up as a snack for the Beast Clan."

The two of them simply couldn’t muster any optimism.

No background?

Hearing the sisters’ words, the little one shook her head slightly. Her intuition was extraordinary and had always been incredibly sharp. She felt that these two sisters, who were about seventeen or eighteen, didn’t lack a background at all. In fact, they had a very significant one—they just didn’t know it themselves.

"You two are still so young. Why are you in such a rush to see the world?" Qin Yuhan advised.

The two sisters glanced at each other and sighed again.

"We’ve been orphans since we were children."

"The villagers said we just fell from the sky. We want to go out there and find out where we came from."

Qin Yuhan was taken aback, unsure of what to say.

The little one’s eyes, however, glinted mischievously as she began scheming on Wu Tian’s behalf. She smiled and said, "My father is an unparalleled expert. I think you two should become my mother’s handmaidens."

"This..."

The two sisters looked at each other, clearly hesitant. Although their abilities were nothing special, they had their pride and didn’t want to become anyone’s handmaidens.

The little one knew exactly what they were thinking and giggled. "You should know that an opportunity like this won’t come knocking twice. My dad is a truly rare expert!"

The sisters exchanged another look, feeling as though they weren’t dealing with a mere child. There was something uncanny about her.

The older sister pondered for a moment before asking, "Your dad is an expert? Just how great is he?"

"Well..." The little one thought for a moment before replying, "He’s greater than anyone you’ve ever heard of."

The sisters clearly didn’t believe her.

"Why not put it to the test?" the little one suggested tentatively.

The two sisters nodded.

If this child’s father really is an expert, we might have a chance to leave Xiuyuan Country without being threatened by the Beast Clan.

Qin Yuhan felt a surge of frustration. Her daughter was far too opinionated. Other children her age aren’t like this at all!

「They found a secluded, empty space.」

"Little sister, do we really have to fight?" the two sisters asked, still hesitant. They were truly reluctant to lay a hand on a child.

The little one just chuckled. "Don’t hold back, sisters."

She clenched her fists and swung them, creating the distinct sound of Breaking the Void.

When the sisters saw this, they looked at each other, their eyes wide with amazement. How can a child’s Spiritual Power be so fierce? It’s incredible, almost unbelievable. Perhaps her father truly is a peerless expert after all.

At this thought, the sisters felt a surge of joy, but they still needed to test her themselves.

They immediately adopted a fighting stance. As they waved their palms, they moved in perfect sync, generating an invisible cyclone that sent all the nearby grass flying into the air. Then, the sisters began to spar with the little one. Their Spiritual Power clashed violently, but since it was only a friendly match, all three of them held back.

From Qin Yuhan’s perspective, the combatants were already a blur of intertwined figures, moving so fast she could barely follow them.

It seems I need to work harder, too, Qin Yuhan couldn’t help but marvel as she watched the clash. No matter what, I can’t fall too far behind my own daughter.

「Soon, they stopped fighting.」

The two sisters, Hong Ji and Lan Niang, still had a look of shock in their eyes. To think we’d run into an expert’s daughter here! Since we’ve met her, we can get to know the expert himself. That means we won’t have to join the Heavenly Sword Sect. Lately, people have been constantly trying to recruit us. We were considering joining the infamous sect as a last resort, but now everything has changed for the better!

Hong Ji immediately asked, "Little sister, we are willing to be handmaidens, but about the expert... may we know his name?"

Lan Niang was also eager to find out. Who could this great master in Xiuyuan Country be?

"My dad’s name is Wu Tian," the little one said.

"Wu Tian? Sister, why does that name sound so familiar?" Hong Ji asked, her brow furrowed.

Hearing the name, Lan Niang also froze for a moment. Then, as a memory surfaced, her pupils shrank and her lips began to tremble uncontrollably. "The most talked-about name in Xiuyuan Country right now... the man who killed the Regent King, he’s also called Wu Tian... Little sister, your father... he seems to share the same name."

"No, that’s my dad," the little one stated bluntly.

"..." Hong Ji and Lan Niang were petrified on the spot.

For the past day, they had been sick and tired of hearing the name Wu Tian. What brazen audacity, killing the Regent King! A crime punishable by death! Some people even warned that you should never get involved with Wu Tian, otherwise you could be implicated when the time came for the execution of his entire clan.

"That expert... can he possibly survive this? You know, the man he killed was the Regent King," Hong Ji couldn’t help but ask.

If the expert dies, wouldn’t all our hopes be for nothing?

"You have no idea how strong my dad is. He has a close connection with the Immortal Emperor. He killed a Great Emperor just over ten days ago. Killing the Regent King of some tiny country is nothing to him," the little one declared proudly, spouting utter nonsense with a perfectly straight face.

Even Wu Tian himself didn’t know he had killed a Great Emperor a little over ten days ago.

But the little one spoke with such conviction that it sounded like the absolute truth. And Hong Ji and Lan Niang believed her. How could such an adorable child possibly be lying? Impossible! It’s absolutely impossible.

Forgoing the rest of their walk, Qin Yuhan and the little one led Hong Ji and Lan Niang back to Duke Guang’s Mansion to meet Wu Tian.

"Greetings, Master!"

Upon seeing Wu Tian, Hong Ji and Lan Niang immediately offered a handmaiden’s curtsey.

"You two... not bad," Wu Tian said as he appraised them, his eyes twinkling as if he had discovered something.

Hong Ji and Lan Niang were taken aback.

Did we just walk into the lion’s den? We’ve heard stories about masters who harbor certain intentions toward their handmaidens, getting handsy even when others are around! And when they’re alone...
